As a reminder...MKEgal wrote:One other thing that's helpful is to highlight & copy a key word from a post before you flag it (in case you're #5 & it disappears), then after you flag it click on "search" & paste your key word in the search box.
Right-click & open the posts that pop up in a new tab, then flag away.
Doesn't take long to do a dozen or so.
Have a look for "muscle X"
"Ultimate Muscle Black Edition"
"testo xl"
"testcore pro"0 -

Gone now. I wonder if that took so long because it almost seemed legit / relevant to the forum. Well whatever. No advertising allowed0 -
they're starting to appear... here's one, but there are more.

Great spam flagging!
Because of all that great work, another group of 'auto' spammers(remember, genuine members advertising is still a breach of guidelines but needs reporting. The spam tool is just for auto-bot spam) have been permanently banned from the community! Nice work and as always, many thanks for helping us to keep the community auto-bot free.. You guys ROCK!
Have an awesome day/night/evening!!

I fully understand that it can get repetitive and seem endless but you guys are seriously doing an awesome job!
Just to note, I have this thread bookmarked and to each new reply I get a notification when I'm online.
After I've finished doing whatever else I might be doing, I always check out new posts and if I see links to spam topics.. I tend to go straight to zapping and getting rid of them!
If you see plenty and it seems like there are a lot to tackle. Making a list of them (as I know you already do) helps other members and myself to go and zap them immediately!
Keep up the awesome work!
I know I've said it before but I love this thread and really appreciate all the time you guys put into helping keep this place spam-bot free!0 -

It can be hard to tell who's a legit poster sometimes. I usually just go by no profile picture, zero replies to the post and an advertising link usually at the bottom of the post. The text is usually obviously gibberish but honestly there's not always time to really read it since VOLUME is the name of the game. Any tips to help you out in this space?

You have the right idea with the kind of cues to watch out for.
Auto bots usually also seem to follow a general posting pattern, throwing a link (or several) in around paragraphs that often make little sense (that said, I've seen some recently that look like real posters I have to admit!).
Really though, just use your judgement as you're already doing, the worst that can happen is we see one that isn't auto bot but obviously advertising.. throw it back into the community and then remove the advertisement that way(removal with warning).
It's still appreciated that you're taking the time to get rid of them!
The only thing we really don't like(and we keep an eye out for) is people using the spam button simply because they don't like or agree with another member.
Keep up the great work and wishing you the best of success with your lifestyle goals!0
